Facing Sex Crime Charges in California? Here’s What You Need to Know
Sex crime charges can change your life in an instant. From the moment an accusation is made, you’re no longer just facing a legal problem—you’re facing public judgment, loss of employment, and the terrifying prospect of becoming a registered sex offender for life.
If you’re in California and have been accused of a sex crime, the most important thing you can do is act fast—and act smart.
